Residents in the Greater Toronto Area are waking up to a winter wonderland with a new blanket of snowfall in the region on Sunday. 

But the freshly fallen powder may turn to slush when flurries transition to rain through the morning hours, according to Environment Canada. 

The national weather agency issued a special weather statement warning GTA residents of an additional two to four centimeters of snow on Sunday that could lead “to challenging travel conditions.”

Strong winds gusting up to 60 to 70 kilometres per hour might also be possible through the day, but are anticipated to ease in the evening.

Areas north of Highway 401 could see about 4 centimeters of local snowfall, said Environment Canada. 

Sunday evening’s forecast shows a 60 per cent chance of flurries with a low of -4 C, but it could feel more like -11 C with wind chill. 

A 30 per cent chance of flurries is expected Monday morning with a high of -1 C that will feel closer to -10 C in the morning and -3 C in the afternoon with wind chill.
